So for context, I have a trans friend (FTM) who I only met post social transition (he has not medically transitioned in any way). I am female. I went to a festival in my town, meeting up with him and my other friends. Now, he and I went to different schools, and the school he goes to does not have walls. Literally no walls. Like they use bookcases to separate the classrooms. There was a break in conversation, and I am thinking about this fact. I then look to him, and say
"Whats it like not having walls?"
He immediately replies "it sucks."
I wasn't expecting such a sharp response, so I continued. "Why don't you have walls?"
He replied "I don't Fn know. Why are you asking? You don't have walls either."
I'm surprised he's taking such offense to this, and even more surprised at this point that he thinks I don't have walls at my school. So, still not realizing what is happening, I exclaim, "I have walls!"
He he just looks at me so confused, until he asks "wait did you say walls?"
I reply "yeah, that's what we've been talking about"
"Oh I thought you've been saying balls!"
TL;DR A mishear lead to my trans (FTM) friend to think I was interrogating him about not having balls. I was just trying to spark average conversation
